I’m just going to assume that everybody reading this has already seen The Avengers (if you haven’t, get off your computer and go see it NOW!) so you probably all know that the team’s famous catchphrase Avengers Assemble wasn’t said by Captain America, or anybody else in the team. This has led to a fair bit of anger in the fanboy community, but to be fair the line didn’t really fit in the movie. I can’t imagine one scene where the line would have fit in. Anyway, in an interview with io9 Kevin Fiege finally revealed the reason why it wasn’t put in the script. Read it below:
“There wasn’t a right place for it, it was cheesy overtime. Here’s what I like, the catch phrase that you might expect is not in that movie, but people will walk out of that movie with many different catch phrases. ‘We have a Hulk’ being one of them, that people already use. We didn’t say [to director Joss Whedon] ‘You have to say it in the movie!’ We did say, ‘Is it going to fit anywhere, can you do it anywhere?’ And Joss looked. That 360 shot (which is my favorite moment in the whole movie) — if right at the end of that, he goes ‘Avengers Assemble!’ [then] well, we just assembled. You do it without saying, it gives more impact.”
So, there you have it. Did you want Cap to say Avengers Assemble in The Avengers? Sound off below!
